success rate of airway devices insertion: laryngeal mask airway versus supraglottic gel device
results in the i-gel group, the success rate was 66.7% for placement on the first attempt, 16.7% for the second, and 3.33% for the third attempt. in the lma group, the success rates were 80.6% and 12.9% for the first and second attempts, respectively. failure in placement occurred in four cases in the i-gel and two cases in lma groups. the mean insertion time was not significantly different bet...
متن کاملUse of the i-gel™ supraglottic airway device in a patient with subglottic stenosis -a case report-
The airway management of patients with subglottic stenosis poses many challenges for the anesthesiologists. Many anesthesiologists use a narrow endotracheal tube for airway control. This, however, can lead to complications such as tracheal mucosal trauma, tracheal perforation or bleeding. The ASA difficult airway algorithm recommends the use of supraglottic airway devices in a failed intubation...
متن کاملthe effects of endotracheal tube and i-gel® supraglottic airway device on respiratory impedance: a prospective observational study
background the forced oscillation technique (fot) is a non-invasive means of measuring respiratory resistance and reactance. we tested our hypothesis that endotracheal intubation would cause more substantial preoperative increases in fot parameters than a supraglottic airway device (sgd). methods forty patients requiring general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation for transurethral bladder tu...

AIM To clinically review the use of basic and advanced airway management techniques within the North East Ambulance Service National Health Service Foundation Trust (NEAS) for cardiac arrests following the introduction of the i-gel. METHOD Two retrospective clinical audits were carried out over a monthly period (May 2011 and January 2012) using electronic and paper NEAS patient records. RES...
متن کاملi-Gel Supraglottic Airway for Inexperienced Anesthesia Residents
i-gel (Intersurgical Ltd., Wokingham, UK) is a new supraglottic airway device with a cuff made of thermoplastic elastomer gel. We retrospectively studied easiness of insertion and troubles in ventilation when this device was used by less experienced anesthesiologists. Consecutive eleven cases undergoing surgery under general anesthesia were studied. i-gel was successfully inserted in 7 cases (6...
